This works well. I turned the reg on my compressor all the way down, so the pressure at the outlet is 35-40psi, and that made it much easier to have a consistent 20psi at the gun. Thanks.

I thought I had enough clear on the body, but when I did a first wet sand with 360 to get rid of the worst croutons, and then 1200, I found there were a few pits in the finish. I suspect that may be because I didn't wait long enough (1 week) after spraying to start sanding. Anyway, I got a few more coats on and I'm very happy with how it's looking.

Now the patience test.

In the meantime, I've ordered some parts from around the web. I have some pickup rings and a pick guard (in black) from Realparts, but unfortunately the rings don't fit the pickguard very well. The rings are smaller than the 'guard cutouts for them, so not a problem I can fix with a scraper.

Any suggestions as to where to get sets of rings and a pickguard that will fit together as well as the kit parts do?
